I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 742: The whole dumbfounded NBA

In the G1 of the Western Conference final between the Warriors and the Spurs, the Warriors' young insider was trained by Duncan in turn, the insider suffered a loss, and the outside was surrounded by three long hands and feet of Roger, Maizi and Leonard, except for Chen Xiao and Bill. Playing with Klay is substandard.

Under the domestic and foreign difficulties, Chen Xiao was unable to support alone, and the warriors lost quite miserably.

However, facing the Spurs, the strongest team in the league right now, the Warriors had long expected.

Any result is normal.

It's just that the Warriors didn't actually think that Duncan, the Spurs' inside pillar, still has such a strong fighting ability.

Duncan scored 21 points at halftime in this game!

Good guy, 9-for-12, 3-for-3 free throws, 21 points at halftime, what a performance for a 38-year-old veteran?

Since last season's Finals, Duncan's playoffs have particularly liked the halfcourt offense.

Because Duncan himself felt that with his current age and physical condition, even if he still had physical strength in the fourth quarter, he would not be able to contribute to the offensive end.

Therefore, Duncan will attack frantically at the beginning of the game, when his physical strength is at its fullest, with a strong desire to attack, not even worse than when he was young.

Moreover, now he does have a strong offensive threat when his physical strength is sufficient.

The main thing is that the younger generation of the league's insiders can really do the dirty work, and there are fewer insiders with dark hands, dark hearts and hard feet.

Most of the league's young insiders, to be honest, are quite elegant.

Maybe their strength is very strong, but for Duncan, who has now become an old monster, you have good skills and strong strength, and maybe it is useful to play black.

Therefore, after the G1 between the Warriors and the Spurs, some netizens made a video of some of the more immature pictures when the four of Lopez, Nongmei, Gobert and Ibaka faced Duncan in this game and posted it on YouTube. superior.

Then, the netizens were all shocked by Duncan.

The first center in the history of the NBA, it is really demonic to be out of the water.

The hands, feet, and body are all basic skills and all plays.

Seriously, the Warriors' inside line is actually not weak this season.

In the entire league, among the Warriors' inside line, the only one who can play so easily is Yao Ming of the Heat, I am afraid it is Duncan of the Spurs.

Think of Yao Ming, who is still firmly holding the No. 1 center position this season, even in the last season.

If you think about it again, you are already 38 at this time, and you can firmly hold down the young rising stars.

It can only be said that historical players, many times they can beat them, really only have years.

Even with the years, it is difficult for them to completely conceal their demeanor.

It can only be said that the young insiders of the Warriors are indeed invincible.

I have to say that these young insiders of the Warriors are considered to be suffering from Bosh in the history of the generation.

Bosh's 2013 and 2014 finals in the past two years have been completed, and his historical status has fallen off a cliff. The once top power forward at the peak was beaten up by a 38-year-old veteran. To have historical status?

Of course, the four insiders of the Warriors, regardless of Lopez or the thick eyebrows, certainly do not have the status at this time in Bosh's history.

Bosh, that's a real superstar.

Big Lopez and Thick Eyebrows, have no such prestige.

Therefore, netizens did not embarrass Nongmei and Big Lopez like they mocked and embarrassed Bosh.

Of course, there must be jokes.

On May 21, the Warriors continued to challenge the Spurs in San Antonio after a day off.

In this game, the Warriors lost even worse. The players of the Warriors felt like they were covered in this game.

The Spurs' defense is really strong.

But if you say Bill is 4-for-15 and Klay is 5-for-16, it's all about the Spurs' defense, and that's nonsense.

The Spurs' interior advantage is strong because of the presence of Duncan and Al Jefferson.

In this game, the Warriors still focused on perimeter offense, and at the same time spared no effort to fight the Spurs with a bayonet on the defensive end, just like the somewhat embarrassing strategy of beating the Spurs in the postseason last season.

However, in this game, except for Chen Xiao, the Warriors' perimeter players felt pulpy.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 18 of 28, 2 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 43 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game.

Without Chen Xiao, the Spurs would have won in three quarters.

By the way, Chen Xiao's two three-pointers in this game are the only two three-pointers made by the Warriors in this game.

In this game, Klay went 0 for 4 three-pointers, Beal went 0 for 5, Dragic 0 for 2, Barnes 0 for 2, Novak 0 for 1.

As if cursed.

It's not actually cursed.

It also has to do with Popovich's defensive strategy.

Popovich played against the Warriors in the playoffs this time, and obviously learned the lesson of being embarrassed by the Warriors' three-point rain at the end of the playoffs last season. When he met the Warriors in the playoffs this time, he strictly guarded against three-pointers and stuck to the basket. Limit the Warriors' mid-range.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 16 of 20 shots except for three-pointers!

It's almost all mid-range shots!

But even so, it still failed to kill the Spurs.

It can only be said that the Spurs' offense is too good now.

That rotation, that three-pointer...

Changed to the Spurs who did not like to attack before 2007, Chen Xiao in this game must be able to kill the Spurs alone.

But now...

It can only be said that the last time Duncan left the Spurs, the change to Popovich was indeed a big one.

Popovich's offense for the Spurs seems to be even stronger than the defense.

That's what makes this Spurs scary and dangerous.

The defense is so good, the offense is so good...

This is not a team that can be killed by one person.

After a 107-115 loss in Game 2 on the road in G2, the Warriors are already 2-0 behind the Spurs.

After sweeping the opponents in the first and second rounds, the Spurs seem to be sweeping the Warriors.

After watching these two games, many people admit that Chen Xiao is still the strongest player in the league. At the age of 32, he can still play unparalleled. The other players of the Warriors have also improved a lot compared to last season.

But the Warriors do have a big gap with the Spurs.

When your offense is choked by the Spurs, you can't move.

After your entanglement defense was eliminated by the Spurs veteran with experience and play.

The Warriors are currently unfavorable in offense and defense. At the same time, the offensive system has not been formed for the time being because of the players' perception. How can people fight?

Soon, though, the Warriors let the world know how they played in such a desperate situation.

In the Warriors' home game of G3, Steve Kerr made Chen Xiao play the inside line just like the Jordan he assisted back then.

g3, the Warriors sent a lineup of Da Lopez, Chen Xiao, Nongmei, Klay and Beal.

This starting lineup does not seem to have any changes in personnel, but the positions of the players have changed.

Chen Xiao went to the inside line and went to Duncan's side.

The thick eyebrows went to the outside line and went to Leonard's side.

This adjustment is indeed miraculous.

Although Cole is not as good at playing as Boss Joe, Boss Joe must have changed his direct starting lineup.

But even so, it still works great.

Let's just say Duncan, who performed bravely in the first two games.

Duncan attacked as soon as he came up in the first two games.

This game is no exception, with 8 shots in the first quarter!

This is the number of shots in a single game at the boss level.

It can be seen that the Spurs hope to use Duncan to tell Kerr that it is useless to switch teams like this. If you pin your hopes on Chen Xiao, then I will beat Chen Xiao.

This is tactically called killing the heart.

I have to say that Popovich is really good at playing this kind of shady psychological warfare.

But in the end, Duncan's effect was limited.

From Popovich's point of view, Chen Xiao has actually been losing weight all these years, and Duncan has actually been losing weight all these years.

Both of them are losing weight in order to play for a few more years in the NBA, and it is true that Duncan, who is taller, has an advantage.

Gu Bai

But don't forget, Chen Xiao's current strength is 100!

That is to say, compared to the time when Chen Xiao was able to play power forward and center, Chen Xiao's current confrontation has actually not decreased much.

The weight has dropped, but the strength has increased, and the confrontation is actually similar.

But Duncan, that's really true. Compared with the peak, the confrontation ability has declined.

When Duncan was in the Magic, he fought against Chen Xiao at the power forward position and defeated Chen Xiao, who was called the same five power forwards at the time.

But now, Duncan only has the advantage of height.

He hit Chen Xiao 3 times under the basket, all failed, and finally scored 6 points in the first quarter with 3 of 5 shots.

Duncan's shooting touch in this game is good, but if you can only shoot there and cannot threaten Chen Xiao under the basket, the Warriors are not afraid.

Because after the inside line is safe, the Warriors' outside defenders can also defend more aggressively, so the Spurs' outside attack will not be so easy to play, no matter how fast they pass, the Warriors also run fast!

Especially in this game, the thick eyebrows played against Leonard, which had a miraculous effect.

Now Ronaldinho Leonard, although the card version of Jordan's back is already in heat, but it is still a lot worse than his historical peak, so it is really difficult for Leonard to attack the long arm with thick eyebrows.

Originally, if Leonard's athletic talent is excellent, he can have a thick eyebrow, but Leonard doesn't have the athletic ability and breakthrough ability of Durant.

The offense is not good. On the defensive end, Leonard is not easy to defend against the thick eyebrows that are so much taller than him.

The thick eyebrows are tall, fast, flexible, as well as shooting and skill. The catch and shoot really make Leonard shoot enough.

This proves that in the game of basketball, high is really dominant.

If Chen Xiao hadn't been against Duncan now, Duncan could only shoot. He faced Duncan in the inside line, and he had to lose. Even so, Duncan's shots against him were 3-for-5.

In basketball, high is bullying!

When he was on the outside, Chen Xiao was also the tall bully.

Therefore, when the entire network felt that the Spurs were likely to sweep the Warriors, Kerr learned from Joe's boss' strategy of 'letting Chen Xiao' and pulled back a city 110-100 at home.

g4, the Warriors repeated their old tricks, but the Spurs' Bobo did not change.

This is not because Bobo doesn't want to, but if he loses a game and changes the plan he has made, it will appear hastily. More importantly, he has not fully seen the weakness of the Warriors' style of play, and hasty changes. Weaknesses may not be found, and problems may arise.

It has to be said that Popovich is indeed scheming.

G4, the Warriors beat the Spurs 100-92 at home.

In this game, Duncan faced Chen Xiao, played 22 minutes, 3 of 8, and only scored 6 points.

Leonard's shooting percentage was only 3-for-9.

The Spurs used to be very stable at two points, and these two games continued to appear sluggish.

This is obviously not a problem with their state, but a problem with the Warriors' tactical play.

In this case, the Warriors' tactical play is also particularly aimed at these two people.

Now that the crux has been identified, Popovich feels that his ability can still find a way.

Of course, before Popovich found a way for the Spurs, the Warriors were once again praised by the American media.

In the case of 0-2 behind, even two games, this is indeed worthy of exaggeration.

Even Boss Qiao, who had been eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals, stood up and praised Chen Xiao and the Warriors.

Especially Chen Xiao.

Boss Joe hasn't had a good time in the Bobcats recently.

After Chen Xiao left, he took the Bobcats to miss the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive seasons.

At the same time, Bennett, who was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick this season, makes him even more of an Alexander.

For so many years, since he was the general manager of the Bobcats, he has never been questioned as much as he is now.

But now, because the champion chose Bennett, he was questioned about his 'eyes of God'.

You know, his eyes used to be called the number one eye in the NBA draft!

In short, after leaving Chen Xiao, Boss Qiao always felt that everything was going wrong.

Therefore, I miss Chen Xiao very much.

G5, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Popovich finally changed, the Spurs took Al Jefferson from the starting lineup, and at the same time added Duncan to the center, and this season's three-point shooting rate reached an astonishing 43%. Bonana To the starter.

The Spurs came directly to a big and four small.

This makes the Warriors' lineup instantly awkward, and the defense is even worse.

The Spurs had a lap of 3-point shooters outside, making 15 3-pointers on 50 percent shooting in this game!

Just crushed the Warriors.

And after mentioning the position to the center, Duncan is closer to the basket, and his confrontation disadvantage will be replaced by the height advantage. Facing Duncan at the basket, Kerr dare not use the other four members of the team, and still can only play Chen Xiao Go to the basket and match up with Duncan.

With the help of the team's group of three-point shooters, Duncan made 8 of 13 games and scored 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Although Chen Xiao scored 17 of 33 shots, 5 of 15 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 48 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, Chen Xiao was still weak.

Mainly, the Warriors' offensive rhythm was disrupted by the Spurs' three-pointer rain in this game. The three-point shooting rate was only 25%. Except for Chen Xiao, everyone else made one three-pointer.

In the end, the Warriors lost 109-120 in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

G6, go back to the home court, also change to a small lineup, take Lopez out of the starting lineup, Chen Xiao play center, put Dragic in the starting lineup, Bill is No. 2, and Klay is No. 3.

Although the speed can keep up with the Spurs, the height of the Warriors outside is too short.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Leonard, who had not improved his offensive performance in the previous few games, scored 4 of 5 in a single quarter, 8 points, Wheat made 3 of 4 in a single quarter, 2 of 3 points, 8 points, and Roger scored 8 points in a single quarter. 2 of 3, 6 of 7 free throws, 10 points, Luo Ge is really sitting on Dragic and working hard.

In the first quarter, Kerr, who was led by the nose, was beaten by the Spurs 40-20 in a single quarter.

But what makes the Warriors fans uncomfortable is that after losing 20 points in the first quarter, they ended up losing just 115-121 by 6 points.

Because, in this game, Chen Xiao made 24 of 41 shots, 7 of 18 three-pointers, 11 of 13 free throws, and scored a crazy 66 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.

In this game, Chen Xiao really fought hard.

Forcing the 38-year-old Duncan, the game played a full 42 minutes.

By the end of the game, Duncan was almost bent over and vomited.

One minute before the end of the game, Popovich squatted on the ground and prayed.

But in the end, Maizi's three-pointer on Clay's head pulled the score to 9 points and stabilized his mood.

Really, God freaked him out and the Spurs by the time he got to 6 points.

This round of the series between the Warriors and the Spurs finally ended in this way.

The Warriors were kept out of the Finals by the Spurs in the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row.

On the other side, the Eastern Conference finals between the Heat and Bucks also ended two days later.

In the end, the Heat and Yao Ming were not able to defeat the Bucks again, and finally lost the game by a big score of 3 to 4.

Compared with last year, the Heat did not beat the Bucks in the end.

There is only one reason, that is, this year's Yao Ming is indeed slower than last year's Yao Ming.

At the same time, the Bucks' starting center has moved faster from Braxson to Draymond Green.

After the tiebreaker between the Bucks and the Heat, Yao Ming cried.

And the Bucks' Ray Allen also cried.

39 years old, finally entered the finals!

This season's nba, because of parting, there are too many tears.

Before the finals, Bucks legend, former MVP, and Barkley's beast figure Ray Allen announced his retirement after the finals.

For a time, the championship odds, which were originally evenly divided, began to tilt like the Bucks.

No way, Ray Allen's influence on the Bucks is too deep, you can even think of Ray Allen as Chen Xiao of the Warriors. If the Warriors sacrifice Chen Xiao, what kind of morale is the Warriors players? status?

It must be an explosion!

The Bucks were already powerful, but now they sacrificed one of the greatest players and leaders in the history of the team.

Can you still play like this?

However, you can even trust Popovich forever.

Six hours after Ray Allen announced he would retire after the Finals, Popovich also announced that he would retire after the Finals.

Therefore, the fans of the Spurs and the fans of the Bucks are really blinded, and the entire NBA is blinded.

This year's finals, is it necessary to roll up like this?

The process after this finals proves that the two teams really need to roll up like this...
